Study Notes
Headlights and Visibility
- Headlights should be activated during daylight to enhance the visibility of your vehicle to others.
Communication with Drivers
- Communicating with other drivers should not involve expressing frustrations; it's meant for safety and coordination.
Closing Probability
- Closing probability refers to the likelihood of your vehicle converging with another object on its path.
Risk from Vehicles Ahead
- A vehicle in front can pose increased risk by abruptly stopping or swerving into your lane unexpectedly.
Vision Errors
- Effective visual scanning, such as looking 20 to 30 seconds ahead, does not constitute a vision error and is essential for safety.
Spatial Judgment
- Tailgating indicates poor spatial judgment in drivers, as it demonstrates a lack of awareness of safe following distances.
Distracted Driving
- A driver engaged in lively conversation is likely to exhibit distraction, increasing the risk of erratic driving behavior.
Communication Purpose
- Communication while driving is a means of exchanging crucial information for safe navigation.
Emergency Vehicle Protocol
- Upon encountering an emergency vehicle, such as a fire truck, it's essential to pull over to the right and stop until it passes.
Pedestrian Crossing Time
- The elderly may take up to 10 seconds to cross a two-lane street, highlighting the need for patience and caution.
Bicyclist Maneuvers
- Unforeseen maneuvers by bicyclists may occur due to obstacles like storm grates situated along their riding path.
Animal Hazards
